How to Claim Refund on Form 2290 Tax Dues Paid Upfront!

Paid the taxes in full for the previous tax year but you vehicle ran less than 5000 miles? You will be eligible to claim a full refund or transfer the credits to the current tax year (If you plan to operate more than 5000 miles)

A claim for refund can be for the following scenarios,

  • Over paid tax due by mistake.
  • Taxable vehicle Sold/ Transferred / Destroyed or Stolen.
  • The vehicle was used within the mileage use limit (5,000 miles or less; 7,500 or less for agricultural vehicles).

In this article we will see especially about Low mileage vehicle credits refund and transfer

Vehicles used within the taxable mileage: The taxable mileage limit for a heavy vehicle is 5,000 miles (7,500 for agricultural). As said before the taxes are paid for the whole year and if your vehicle has run under 5,000 miles (7,500 for agricultural vehicles) you are eligible for low mileage credits. This can be applied only when the entire tax period (July 1 – June 30) is completed. The Vehicle mileage credits is limited only to miles operated on the vehicle regardless to the number of owners.

To get a refund based on low mileage you need to start a new return and select form “8849 schedule-6”. This is a special form dedicated for refund purposes. Then over the next page you need to select Low mileage vehicle credits to declare your vehicle exempt from tax. Over the next page just select “add vehicles” to enter the VIN number, first used month and reason for refund, also you need to attach the copy of the schedule-1 copy for reference. That is all within just 3 steps you can claim a refund on the taxes paid.

To transfer the credits to the current year filing (Only if the truck is assumed to run over 5000 miles) start a new return and select “form 2290”, select the first used month and tax year and over the next page you have to select two boxes which says “taxable vehicle & Low mileage vehicle credits”. The next page is where you can see two rows , the first one would be for entering the truck details on which the taxes needs to be transferred and the second one is to declare the previous year filing under low mileage credits. Then the rest is the same just proceed further with payment. 

By following these steps you can either claim a refund or transfer the credits to the current tax year

Lace up! You’ve got miles to run! The Race isn’t over yet!

Truckers, now it’s about time to join the HVUT Form 2290 Pre-filing race for the period July 2019 through June 2020. Now Lace up & get going; never let procrastination take over you since it could cost your truck registration.

Fellow truckers it’s time to prepare to file your taxes and hit the road. The tax filing season starts by 1st July and Hope you’ve got everything prepared. If not we are here to assist you. There are certain things to remember to do a perfect tax filing. So here are some seeds of wisdom to keep in mind while filing you tax returns

What is Form 2290? For all the first time filers this is the form that is used to report you heavy vehicle and pay the taxes. On submission of this form you would receive a watermarked Schedule-1 stamp copy which would serve as proof of filing as well as a proof to report your Vehicle to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicle) for new trucks as well as renewal of your old trucks

All you need to have is the VIN number a valid EIN number (more than 15 days since applied) and you good to go. These two things are to be entered correctly to avoid rejections or corrections which would incur you to spend more

How to determine whether you vehicle is taxable? Well do you have a heavy vehicle and have plans to operate over 5,000 miles (7,500 for agricultural vehicles) and the total Gross weight (Sum of Tractor, load and trailer weights) is 55,000 lbs or more? Then your vehicle is subjected to Federal taxes. The taxes are paid in advance for the whole year. Any heavy vehicles under the above mentioned are considered to be “Suspended Vehicles” meaning it’s exempt from taxes.

VIN Number: The VIN number or The Vehicle Identification Number is a unique code given to every vehicle which is of 17 Digit Alpha- Numeric characters. No two VIN numbers for any vehicles are of same. This is used to identify a specific vehicle in case of tax reporting or theft of vehicle.

The VIN number doesn’t contain the Characters such as “I, O & Q” in it. So while filing your tax returns make sure you keep this in mind. Else you might have to correct the form right away to evade tax penalties.

And the most common step which some users fail to do it transmit the return to the IRS. Users normally file the tax returns pay the service free and move till the payment conformation page. But you have to go all the way till the last page after service fee payment where you could see a Red Box saying “Transmit to IRS”. Click that red button and your returns will be transmitted instantly and you will receive the Schedule-1 copy with stamped water mark on it indicating the filing was done successfully to your registered email within 30 minutes

So these are all the small things that you need to be aware of while filing your tax returns. So why wait you also have an option to pre-file your tax returns by June and receive the Schedule-1 copy by the first week of July. Stay ahead of all the 3.5 million truckers across the nation.
